I figured out what was causing the problem on my system, so maybe this will help someone else.
The Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service was preventing my T61 from sleeping.  I stopped and disabled this service.  Sleep is working great now.

  • Creative Zen V Plus won't sync with Windows Media Player 11?

    My Zen V Plus won't synchronize with Windows Media Player . I plug it into the USB, then an error message pops up in WMP that says "WMP has encountered a problem and needs to close" but if I just move the window aside WMP works fine. I then click 'sync" and it says "preparing to sync" but doesnt move beyond that. I have synced with WMP before, this problem has recently started occurring. I have all the firmware updates on my player, I don't know what is causing this problem.

  • I am also unable to get the 551L working with Windows 8 Beta 1. Any advice?

    I am also unable to get the 551L working with Windows 8 Beta 1 and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2. Any Advice?

    It should be noted that I was previously in those Windows Beta's and I am also a member of both Microsoft Technet (Retail Subscription), and all 3 Apple Developer Programs (IOS, Mac and Safari), which is the reason why I am running Microsoft Windows 8 Beta 1 on 2 of my 3 Dell's (the oldest one has Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Microsoft Office 2003 on it, which is the PC that I am using the 551L on), and the Mid Year 2010 Apple Mac Mini has Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server Edition on it (something that I am technically am NOT supposed to be talking about here due to my NDA so this will be the last time I mention it here (as you can see I am known for being the type of  Computer Nerd that loves Alpha and Beta Testing)! :-)

  • HP Officejet 6500A Plus won't work with Windows 10

    Help!!   Officejet 6500Aplus won't print with windows 10. Every aplication just spits out blank pages when you print.

    I have the same issue with my OJ 6500 (network connected).  And I've been just been sent on a wild goose chase to install the support assistant - which didn't actually resolve my issue.  When I go directly to the drivers, it recognizes my OS as Windows 10, but doesn't give me a matching driver package to download... How/when will this be resolved? Does anyone have a workaround?If I knew that my printer/scanner doesn't work anymore I certainly wouldn't have upgraded to Windows 10.  Win 8.1 wasn't perfect, but at least everything worked... Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Itunes upgraded but won't launch with Windows 7

    Hi
    I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes 2 days ago (5 April 2010) and now iTunes simply won't launch at all. I have tried some of the remedies in the posts and have even tried a complete reinstall but iTunes still will ot launch.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

    I had the same problem: after updating to iTunes 9.1 (no errors) I just couldn't launch it. In Task Manager I saw that the iTunes process was running but it never really opened.
    After nights of frustration of scanning the net for solutions I finally managed to get iTunes to run again.
    1) Firstly I deleted the new iTunes 9.1 and all programmes associated with it according to the directions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    It also mentions you should remove the Bonjour service but I could never make that work (no privileges or something like that).
    2) After that I reinstalled a previous version of iTunes. In this case 9.0.3.15. I got the download here: http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php
    3) Then I disabled the Bonjour service with the MSCONFIG method mentioned at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
    There they state that you should check which service clashes with Windows by trying to disable one service at a time. I found out pretty quickly that it was just the Bonjour service that caused the problems. All other services could run normally.
    After the reboot iTunes finally started up again and I was able to restore my library.
    Only thing is that I can not use the Remote App on my iPod Touch. That apparently required the use of Bonjour.
    I hope this method helps for some of you!
    Cheers,

  • Playlists won't sync with windows 8.1 and wmp 12

    Just updated to a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and (sadly) Windows Media Player 12.  Everything works except I cannot get the playlists to work -- the music syncs just fine.  It all worked beautifully before in an older version of WMP. My wonderful old Fuze is version v01.02.31A.  I have tried all the mtp/msc tricks posted.  I can change the extension of my wpl playlists to either pla or m3u and the folder will appear on the Fuze, but it is still empty. Short of manually changing the genre of my songs so they'll at least group together even if not in the right order (which I am considering out of sheer frustration), is there any way to sync my playlists?  

    I don't use playlists. Maybe as a workaround you could try music software other than Windows Media Player, like Media Monkey
    http://www.mediamonkey.com/
    And see if you have better luck.
    The free version of Mediamonkey should  do playlists for you; what you get with the Gold (paid) version, mostly, is an mp3 ripper, but you can also install an mp3 ripper without buying it. 

  • SB Live 24bit external problems with windows 7 beta driver

    Hi, I have a problem with my soundcard with the windows 7 beta driver. An unwanted sound come out when I'm doing something like chatting with Yahoo Messenger or buffering Youtube. I don't know what makes it like that, can you guys help me out, please
    Thank you

    Maybe you could start by donating something
    I'm giving you something Creative would never do, so I think I deserve it, don't you think
    Doesn't matter if it is $2 or $5.
    All these Vista Support Packs prove my knowledge and are true modifications, not like the current Youp Pax crappy releases from a dumb person who doesn't even know how a INF file works.

  • HP LaserJet 6L won't work with Windows 8

    Good afternoon all,
    Right I inherited this great little printer last year, it worked great with Windows 7 but now it wont work with Windows 8, it appears to be installed and the drivers are all up to date but when I use it to print a pile of random characters come out on the pages and doesn't stop. I've reinstalled it and installed it again and again every different way but it just doesn't work and HP says that it is compatible (there is a green tick beside it somewhere on your website). Could it be that I'm using a cable that is parallel at the printer end and USB at the computer end that is at fault?
    James.

    I had the same problem, and fixed it.
    Control Panel - Devices and Printers
    Click on "Add a Printer"
    Click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
    For USB connection, choose "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings"
    Pick an existing port.  I use a cable that has LPT port at one end, USB at the other end.  So my choice is USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)
    Now you see the list of manufacturers and models.  Before doing anything, click on "Windows Update" and let it run (takes a few minutes)
    Once the update is complete and you're back to the list of manufacturers and models, select HP as the model, and select HP LaserJet 6L as the printer.  Without Windows Update, it will only show "HP LaserJet 6L PS Class Driver", which causes the problem.  Stick to "HP LaserJet 6L"
    The rest is straight forward.  Print a test page and check if it comes out right.  Good luck!!

  • HP Solution Center won't work with Windows 7

    Are there any current workarounds to using the HP Solution Center (for scanning / faxing / printer) for HP Printers with Windows 7 ?
    I have an HP Photosmart C7280 (wireless), have installed, re-installed, un-installed, installed from hp.com, installed from CD from HP, and the Windows 7 drivers for my HP printer over-ride the HP drivers.
    I have followed every single firewall configuration for the HP printer software, network configuration, wireless modifications, etc, but windows 7 drivers always over-ride the hp.  Either the HP Full Install crashes with fatal errors during installation, or it will work for 5 minutes, and when I reboot the laptop or turn the printer on, the HP Solution Center will share that the installation is incomplete, and to run the setup again.  
    Although I love my new HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7, I'm frustrated that my pile of paperwork to scan cannot be done until the HP "all-in-one" printers are compatible with Windows 7.  I can print, but am not able to do anything else.

  • Palm z22 won't sync with Windows 7

    I have a palm Z22 which I only use for geocaching. Has been working fine with Windows XP.
     Just got a new computer running Windows 7. Installed from the disc (few years old)..wouldn't sync or recognize the PDA. Downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 which was supposed to fix the problem..didn't work.
     What now?? Would buy another Palm PDA if necessary. Are there any which will work on Windows 7?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    You get asked it every day? Too much of a bother to you?
    Assuming only one person per day contacts you about this issue (which I very much doubt), that would mean approximately 120 persons have bothered to ask the question since the release of Windows 7. This does not reflect the many who simply toss their Palm product in the trash, and buy a competitor's product.
    It is incomprehensible to me that a patch has not been written yet. And it is obvious that you really just do not care. You present yourself as simply annoyed that you CUSTOMERS are asking for help.
    No enterprise that relies on satisfied customers can long survive with an attitude that a portion of their users just don't matter.
    Since this is only your third post here I'll try to help you out with some background information how forums work.  
    Questions that get asked over and over get special treatment - they get responses that are stuck to the top of each section of the forum, and are called "sticky posts".  They are placed prominently at the top, and have a dark background to attract the attention of New Users who may be unfamiliar how internet forums work. It's "assumed" anyone looking for answers would scan the top of a section first before posting questions.
    Perhaps you missed the one for Windows 7?  Did you not get any results using the Search function?  How about using the new Tag function to click on "Windows_7"?  Have you been trying to sync to a 64bit system via cable?   Palm Desktop 6.2.2 works fine with 32bit Win7...
    So you feel I don't care eh?  Do you see a Palm logo under my nickname?  You don't, due to the fact I am a VOLUNTEER here, sitting at home, and offering my years of experience with PalmOS devices freely to those asking for help.  I am the highest Kudo'd responder here (kudos=Thank You's), have the highest post count, and yes answering the same question over and over again does get tedious at times!  
    The plain fact remains that Palm Inc. is ending support for PalmOS devices, and those of us using them are on our own.  They sold Palm Desktop to a Japanese company named "Access" years ago, and have gone to webOS as their entire future.  Microsoft has changed their OS twice now (since XP), and you chose to purchase it/them.  Access finally came out with version 6.2.2 of Palm Desktop (for Vista), but that seems to be the end of the road as far as they're concerned.
    One of the basic tenets of business is to attract new customers constantly.  Palm's PDA line was discontinued due to lack of sales.  Yes, I would have loved to have seen a TX2, or at least see Palm actually advertise and market what they actually had.  Palm Inc. has moved on, and would like everyone to purchase a webOS device now.
    Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you get the answers you are seeking.

    Status as a volunteer does not bestow license for rudeness.
    It should be reasonably simple to provide a link to a summary of the Windows 7 sync problems, rather than replying to the questioner in the manner you did.
    A problem so often asked about deserves to be handled helpfully, not sarcastically. Actually, no request for help of any kind should be treated so disparagingly.
    And, although I have no intention of getting into a pissing contest with you, you are way off base in your response to me, dripping with disparagement and sarcasm.
    Clearly, in your mind at least, anyone daring to criticize you must be an ignoramus.
    I did not search the forum to arrive here.
    I came to this forum page from an outside link. Had I realized it would bring me here, I would not have followed it.
    I long ago gave up expecting anything helpful in the Palm forums as it relates to this issue.
    You did however provide one major piece of useful information: that Palm has literally abandoned PDA users. Yet as recently as last November, the Palm Store in my City was actively selling PDA's including the Z22. One would think that those newly purchased devices would be supported for some reasonable amount of time, like at least a year!
    Now I know what future products not to buy. And whom not to engage in conversation.

  • Adobe 6.0 won't work with windows 98

    I bought 6.0 without reading the fine print. When I tried to install it, I found out that I need Windows 2000 or higher. I can't upgrade to windows 2000 due to conflicts with other programs I'm running. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make 6.0 work with WIndows 98, or how to get an older version of Adobe?
    Thanks!
